Will it run properly on windows 8.1?

Initially, I did install the program on a laptop that was running Windows 8. It seemed to work fine on it. I haven't tried it on windows 8.1, but as 8.1 is a vast improvement over Windows 8, I would think it would run on it, but I can't say for sure. The only things that really seemed to change from Windows 8 and 8.1 is just that 8.1 looks like the traditional Windows desktop, and they made the side bar less sensitive. They also seemed to fix a lockup on start issue that was created with the first 8.1 Update.

Not only will FSX run on windows 8.0 but also windows 8.1. However, I see the picture of Flight Simulator 2004 and I've had some difficulty with FS-2004. I've been told that you can run 2004 but it maytake some very good technicians to set it up and they will have to have knowledge of Flight Simulator Programs, FS-2004 and older.......Thanks,

Will FSX run with windows 8? The answer is very much, yes! I have windows 8 and now windows 8.1 and there has been no problem with either one. However, I see the picture of FS 2004 on the boxthat you sent with the question and that I've had a little difficulty with that program but it is suppose to be able to run as well. Thanks and if you have any further questions, feel free to ask. I've been a real life pilot for more years than I like to think of but I do know airplanes and associate subjects. Thanks, Wil Sanders

short answer - yes. I had it running on Win 8.1 Pro no issues - drivers built into Windows these days are really good.

It'll run 8.1 just fine. My only recommendation is to wait for windows 10... :)

yes, it works. I have windows 8.1 installed on my PC, it runs smoothly, fully compatible. I played FIFA 13, NFS Run, Hot Pursuit and it works great.

Should be. I run it on Windows 8.1 with no problems, and 8.1 has more issues with gaming than 7 did in my experience.

Bob, I am running it with Windows 8.0 without any problems. I hav not upgraded to 8.1 so can't answer to that. Rick

Easily, yes. I've run it on a windows XP, 7, and 8, and it has always run smoothly.

Yes ! Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit runs great. Max out the memory and add an SSD for better performance if you can

It works with Windows 8.1 but you need to manually install some runtime components in order to get them to work. They have to be run manually.

Yes. I've been playing it for weeks without any problems on my Windows 8.1 laptop.

That purely comes down to preference. I am currently running Windows 8.1 without any issue on mine.

I just got a new laptop with windows 8.1 and it works fine thus far. It should work okay.

I have windows 8.0/8.1 and I had no issues with it whatsoever. I upgraded to 8.1 little before I downloaded and played SC1-SCBW so I'd double check with a FAQ or something. But tbh I think you'll be fine.

I have Windows 7 so I can't say for sure; but my guess is that it would work well on 8.1 64 bit edition.

Not Sure. This was designed to run on Windows-XP, but I don't use windows 8.1. I did get to work on windows 7 using the compatibility feature, so it might work. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer.

Without a hitch. :) I had this game on 360 and loved it now it's all I ever play on my Windows 8.1 build.
